Chuck tries to get rid of perv’s funds
That’s what he wanted and that’s what he got.”
The lawsuit includes new, detailed descriptions of Epstein’s $77 million townhouse of horrors where prosecutors say he abused many of his underage victims.
On the first visit to the mansion with the recruiter when she was just 14, Araoz says she saw Epstein’s trophy room, full of taxidermied animals, including a giraffe. A spiral staircase featured a self-portrait of Epstein on the wall with a young girl, who Epstein said he considered like a daughter, the suit claims.
When Araoz later visited alone, Epstein took her to the massage room, which he said was his “favorite room in the house,” according to the suit.
“The ceiling was painted to look like a blue sky with clouds and angels to give the appearance that you were in heaven,” the suit reads.
Epstein allegedly persuaded Araoz to undress and give him a massage. He masturbated and paid her $300, she says. That pattern was repeated — and is reminiscent of allegations in a federal indictment.
Araoz also visited Epstein’s master bedroom, which featured “a large Jacuzzi and prosthetic breasts on the wall in a bathroom that he could look at or play with while in the bathtub,” according to the suit.
She never returned to the mansion after the rape, according to the suit. Epstein was once friends with Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton and President Trump. He pleaded guilty to two state prostitution charges in Florida in a controversial deal with federal prosecutors that resulted in him only serving 13 months in jail.
“Ms. Araoz was disgusted with Epstein (and herself at the time) and left his home soon thereafter, never to return,” the suit reads.
She withdrew from Talent Unlimited and became more socially isolated, the suit claims. The abuse, the suit says, continues to impact her every day.
She seeks damages for sexual battery and emotional injuries to be determined at trial.
An attorney for Epstein did not respond to a request for comment. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer — who’s calling for Labor Secretary Alex Acosta to resign over his kid glove prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein — scrambled Wednesday to wash his hands of thousands of dollars that the billionaire sex offender donated to his election efforts in the 1990s.
After press inquiries, Schumer spokesman Angelo Roefaro said the senior New York senator was disbursing a total of $22,000 that Epstein forked over to his congressional campaigns and a couple of Schumer-backing super PACs between 1992 and 1997, according to Federal Election Commission records.
“While these campaign accounts closed about 20 years ago, and even then the campaign never controlled the two political action committees, Sen. Schumer (inset) is donating an equal sum to antisex trafficking and anti-violence against women groups,” Roefaro told the Daily News.
The Epstein cash will be evenly distributed to Safe Horizon, Sanctuary For Families, the Crime Victims Treatment Center and the John Jay College Foundation, according to Roefaro.
Epstein, who was arrested last weekend and indicted on sex trafficking charges of molesting scores of underage girls in the early 2000s, dished out seven individual $1,000 donations to Schumer’s House and Senate bids.
In the same time period, Epstein donated $10,000 to Victory in New York, a super PAC founded by Schumer and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and another $5,000 to Win New York, a Schumer-backing action committee.
The previously undisclosed donations raised eyebrows, as Schumer has spent the past week laying into Acosta for cutting a lenient non-prosecution deal with Epstein in 2008 while serving as a U.S. attorney in Florida.
